host: this is a piece in the "washington *." -- washington times." they write that nearly 27,000 people are facing serious federal charges related to immigration in 2009. the chief justice has a report on the judiciary. three-fourths of the people enter the united states after being sent home before. what about the aspects of this that are against the law, even if this is shrinking? guest: the numbers are in line with the economic progress in the country. this shows that long before president bush was enforcing this strategy, the numbers would go up and down if jobs were available. the question is what is driving people to come to the united states. the major issue is economic prosperity. when the recession hits, people did not come as much. but we know that this will not last. all the predictions are moving out of the recession. and there will be a growth in jobs. what this means is that if this is killed by the economic needs, then the legal immigration will have to be addressed. -- the illegal immigration will have to be addressed. we have 12 mill

you can see the characters who play big roles here in washington. lieberman has made a resurrection of late. he has a great face. you can figure your thumbs moving through his muscles. some people who do not want to go away, thank goodness. the cartoonists were cheering when john mccain nominated her. we knew we would have a good time for a while. let's go to president barack obama. when a politician first comes into the public limelight, the characters are very close to the photographs. over time, the face gets more and more exaggerated. when we had the election and post election, this was barack obama. it looked like he was smiling all the time. during the campaign, i made a 3 d model of him. i was on may 6-city tour with an improv group or i could talk to the sky and he would talk back. it was very effective. -- i could talk to this guy. you are, no doubt, a reader. >> it was very effective at the time. when he got into office, things started to change. he became more serious. you can see the guy saying, careful, the great satan is opening his pa

they did not trust washington. their trust in obama is plunging. somebody has got to make this democracy work, so if he can get a health care bill through, and it will not take effect for years, so you're not going to see any impact from it, but it is an accomplishment. it is showing that somehow out of the chaos, he could get something large done. i think that might make people more confident about what else he can achieve, and it is going to modestly restore capital. i do not want to overstate that. the senate is not going to want to go to the next divisive issue, which is climate change and talk about, let's talk about raising the cost of fuels. i do not see that happening. i agree with the underlying point, which is that so far this has been a president that is almost passive. he has been willing to lay out broad goals and led his party take rains, and the results are not beautiful, but the fundamental question is, compared to what? had he tried to lay out the template for health-care reform in the beginning, my guess is it would look nothing l

for what purpose does the gentleman from washington rise? >> to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. >> madam speaker, tonight i'm introducing a resolution to urge the senate to change a filibuster rule. the filibuster has in effect created minority rule. it wasn't the intent of the framers of the constitution to allow any one person the power to bring legislative process to a halt, which is exactly what the filibuster has given each senator the ability to do. the framers very clearly outlined the five instances when they believed a supermajority was needed. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman will suspend. the house will be in order. please take your conversations off the floor. the gentleman may proceed. mr. mcdermott: the day-to-day business of congress was not one of them, but the use of the filibuster has become such common practice that it now requires a supermajority in the senate to pass virtually every piece of legislation, no matter how mundane. the filibu
